Reminder that tau have anti-grav sub edition
Has anyone tried to convert the her lady from the bloodstone kit to a regular base? I'm making mine into a skullcanon and don't want to waste him is it easier to put his chair on a base or just him
What the fuck phone
>Herald
>bloodthrone
I slapped mine onto a juggernaut. Replacing the hand holding the chain isn't a problem, but that model has a fairly wide stance so you'd need to either cut the legs & reposition to fit it onto a 25mm circle or get creative with basing
New Ork Mob rule:
If ten wounds and or hull point's worth of units are within 18" of a unit, that unit autopasses its moral tests.
So if you reduce a 10 boy unit to 2, and there's a 5 boy unit one foot away, and a couple killa cans just behined the boys, then 2 boys + 5 boys +2*2 HP killa kans =11 wounds. Autopass.
I do believe this rule might stink on its own, because it encourages Tyranid-style grouping for artillery. But at least its closer to how an ork should behave than current mob rule.
if you are going to add an 18inch range you have to bump the number to 15/20
I don't want to encourage more green waves without making ork trukk rushes unplayable. So its important the boys get to spread out to avoid blast and template weapons. That said, you do have a point, 18" is probably too far.
This is just an idea, of course. Maybe Ill playtest it with an Ork player and see what makes an optimal range.
...
fuck yeah
I already have one on a jug
I should have enough legs to adjust his pose a little
Just replace it with the old rule from the 4th edition book, bump all Nobz/Flash Gitz up to Ld8, and give all Ork characters Stubborn.
I was speaking with a m8 about the future of GW and 40k and he posed this to me
>Would you accept all 3 Eldar races being merged into 1 codex, with no unit loss?
I personally have no problem with this, but i wondered what you guys think
the main problem is,how often DONT you have 10 wounds/HP within 18"? 2 trukks and a deff dreads means better-than-fearless fireveryone within 18,which is fucking bananas
GW is doing the opposite right now. Expect the codexs to keep getting split until we're like AOS where it's just take what you want forge the narrative.
End Times Khaine was a shitstorm for a reason.
Didn't play Fantasy
How bad was it?
Dark elf bbeg became supreme ruler of all elves for literally no reason
Are Orks just Chaos Kroot?
How have Tau avoided Warp shenanigans amongst their Auxiliaries, anyways?
>kroot suck
>orks suck
>chaos makes orks suck even more
Seems legit
Why would I oppose that
I wouldn't oppose it even if there was unit loss, nothing but Eldar is real anyways
omg why
If you want a 40k context
>Asspull plot twist puts Vect as the true chosen Eldar king and makes Yriel/the Phoenix Lords all frauds.
>Vect's sliminess is never addressed as all the Kabals, Craftworlds and Harlequin troupes defer to him.
>Yriel refuses to accept this and Khaine possesses him, but that's ok since Asuryan is on Vect's side
>Eldrad and all the Phoenix Lords die stupidly or horribly in the background.
The Chaos gods have a grudge against Humankind, particularly the followers of the Emperor.
eh it was a neat twist, finnibar or whoever was really a usurper and Malekith was the true phoenix king all along. As a fan of spoopy elves over vanilla or wild; I thought it was cool.
That sounds so awful and shit, wouldn't surprise me if they pulled something this half arsed in 40k
Jesus christ
Offc you smug delf players had no problem with it...
Do markerlights affect shooting at flyers?
Then him and his God buddies pop open Slaanesh and malal becomes the new God.
So, which flyers are the winners/losers of the new update Death from the Skies?
yea I should have mentioned the smugness, and dark elf playing. But you figured it out good :) remember, we're battle brothers now--both in 40k and AoS too now.
Yes Skyfire forces snapshots,. Snapshots are affected by Markerlights.
Everything that's eldar, space marine, and I think tau.
What decent GK units could I cram into an allied detachment for a fluffy Ordo malleus/exorcist list (Reposting from last knight)?
You got troop choice terminators, stick them with a librarian and bring a dread knight.
I wonders, shouldn't turrets from certain planes get Skyfire or Skyfire little? It doesn't make sense having turrets on bombers that are obviously designed for areal defence, to be used offensively against land targets.
>all Ork players are bros, they said
>everyone loves to play against Ork players, they said
>local Ork player does nothing but bitch and mope about balance and basically gives up the moment something in a game doesn't go his way
Nah. Rolling the quins mindex in reduces the chances of an exodites minidex, as they could only do it when updating the big book.
Yeah Ive given up hope on 40k becoming a 'good' game. Everything GW releases pushes it in the opposite direction, I couldnt keep telling myself 'it will get better' forever.
So, am I the only person who has noticed that the standard Chaos Space Marines box is no longer available on GW's website?
Incoming update, maybe?
Eldar and Space Marines, go figure.
>Incoming update, maybe
No, this happens all the time. CSM arent getting anything til the second half of 2017. Unless you count some shitty formations in the upcoming CotW part 2. But idk if CSM will even be in that book.

When are Orks going to get an update, oh wise one
What about Tyranids
Orks have had their update for this year.
>oh wise one
That isnt something I came up with, just repeating Sadpanda, and the other 100% accuracy rating rumor source that said the same thing.
Idk about Orks or Tyranids, sorry user. I dont remember either source saying anything about them.
Ordered this little thing, friend is getting the CSM side and I'm getting the SM side. I'm not really a fan of the bikes though and might swap them out with something else. If I added a 5 man tactical squad instead of the bikes would that be alright? Or should I see if I can make an assault squad. I need to read the rules on how vehicle armor works.. I might swap out the tactical squad for a furioso maybe...
>Coming in hot !
A question to those who already play Scions: is the Hot-shot yolley gun worth it ? Or should I just stock up on more plasmas ?
>All Ork Characters get the Stubborn special rule.
>Bosspoles allow you to reroll failed Ld tests.
New Mob Rule:
If an Ork unit has a Character or 10+ Wounds and fails a Leadership test that unit may take the resulting roll and subtract their Leadership- the Ork unit suffers a number of Strength 4 AP- hits equal to the result.
I have a command squad with 4. It's always nice to blast some marines. Regular squads I gave plasma.
Depends what you're using the Scions for. Do you need ap 2 or ap 3? What is their target?
Hi will :^)
Nah, lets just give them the Animosity rule from WHFB where you roll a D6 for every unit and on a 1 they're pinned and on 6 they move D6" towards the closes enemy.
Where did the idea of orks beating themselves up on a failed leadership come from?
It should just go back to their leadership becomes better and better as their numbers go up. Bring back ld = number of models in the unit. give all ICs stubborn. done.
and since we're bringing back more and more complicated rules, bring back Mob Up too
Bikes arent vehicles, and only Blood ANgels can take Furiosos.
No more gay ass charts kthnxbye
Hotshot Volley on the Trukks, but Plasma on the Scions.
its kind of hard to be positive about your army when gw does nothing but shit on you
Dont get angry at a kicked dog for flinching when you go to pet it
yawn
I heard that CSM would most likely be updated Late 2016/ Early 2017 to match with the Prospero Heresy Rulebook
Helldrakes came out of it pretty well: Nabbed themselves a bank turn and the ability to be taken without using a fast attack slot. Improved chance of showing up, all show up at once.
No, charts are cool! Then bring back Madboyz who on the roll of 1 for Animosity have a whole new chart from which to roll to see how mad they get, ranging from just being pinned to actually hurting each other.
It's just stupid where 40k where 90% of the armies ignore the Ld stat, and the most argued change is Orks bitching for their Fearless back.
Nerf Atsknf to not be Ignore the Ld stat.
Etc. Etc. Make it so morale actually matters.
It's almost as bad as WFB was with Ld of 18" rerollable Ld 10 :^)
Without the nobs or Warboss Orks fight amongst themselves to determine who's the biggest.
>modern bolter
>with a stock
The fuck is this shit?
Fleeing Orks should fall back towards from mobs and auto Mob up once in coherency.
I love the hazard stripes.
Which are the worst flyers and why?
Spotted the Tau/Eldar/Space Marine player.
It's easy to look down upon the unwashed masses with contempt, especially when you're sitting in an ivory tower getting gangbanged by an endless supply of silver spoons.
EXODITES MINIDEX WHEN
I know its petty and stupid considering the state the orks (THE BUGGY MODEL PRE-DATES THE TAU) chaos (FINESHIT EVERYWHERE) the aspect warriors (FINESHIT TWO, PASTEL COLORED BOOGALOO) and god forbid the sisters of squatting
but i really wanna be able to field an army of spess elf luddites riding dinosaurs, is that so wrong?
Space MArines will recieve an exclusive model every month. It will contain free upgrades and special rules that you can use to make your friends hate you more than they already do!
Pre-order now! Just $40 to let everyone know you're a waac douchebag with a tiny penis.
Much better model than that anniversary one.
Deldar bros what's our best anti tank? blasterborn in a venom?
Sandpanda and the other one (I forget name have 100% accuracy on reporting leaked info. Obv schedules can change, but they both said the same thing at separate times from separate sources: CSM update is Q3/4 2017.
Is AbusedPuppy a good source of advice when it comes to tactics'
Baleflamer cant target flyers, Heldrake dogfights with only a melee weapon. They got no Heldrake formation, but guess who did? Eldar. Space Marines. Dont kid yourself user, Heldrakes were marginalized yet again.
>Mfw i bought the 30th anniversary marine
>Mfw I was informed i cant actually field it in my army because I dont have any "Space Marines", only Initiates
Lizardmen + Craftworld + Wood Elves
You can do it user. I believe!
>THE BUGGY MODEL PRE-DATES THE TAU
basically, just make sure you take more than one because anyone with a brain is gonna focus those fucks down
Odd, off the wall question. Can Renegades & Heretics ally with Tau? Is it a common occurrence? If so, is it any good? I have a few ideas to try
>Tau languish with outdated models for years
>GW redoes the entire model line, several new models, new powerful codex, and FW support years thereafter
>Orks languish with outdated models for years
>...
>Tyranids languish with outdated models for years

didn't the faq state that blast and template weapons with skyfire can hit flyers?
Yes, but if they are scared and running away they're not going to hold an impromptu boss fight are they?
Depends on what you want to fight. Volley guns pump out massive amounts of shots and slaughter anything that isn't a TEQ (and can get rending or twin linked with orders). Melta is less shots but more focused on smashing armor. Plasma is the middle ground with rapid fire but also gets hot. With twin linked and carapace armor you'll generally be okay but it is a risk.
Flamers are only 5 points but they're only better than volley guns against straight hordes. Magnetize or counts-as between them.
tyranids always get the sexiest models user, what are you even talking about? its the rules that are fucked
only against FMCs. and the exact same FAQ in the *line before* said templates/blasts cannot hit FMCs
Looks like my wallet is safe for another year
Guess it's Necrons, boring but decent, and DE, fun but low tier to play until Ahriman and his bros are updated
I was thinking about using the command squad for melta only, with 4 melta guns they will make sure the tank is blown up and I won't have to worry about hellguns not shooting at infantry that turn.
All infantry I guess, my meta has some 2+ but it's not that common, mostly it's 3+ or 4+. I'm not taking them as allies but planning on a Scion army (or perhaps Elysians from a chinaman).
Ha ha
Checked out the faq, it says that only one relic is allowed per character. Does that mean that chapter master murderwings is now illegal to play
So that just arrived in the mail. What can I use to cut them out without fucking the whole thing up? Not sure if I have any exactoknives lying around and I assume a regular ass pair of scissors is ill advised.
Yep. You can only purchase one relic now.
Although people are still arguing weather the Space Marine book "states otherwise" for purchasing 1 relic.
I'm rolling Blood Angels. I wish I hadn't been so drunk when I ordered this battleforce from GW, I ordered Dark Vengeance off amazon 2 days later and it arrived earlier. Although I'm a like disappointed because it's supposed to be new but someone obviously has been through this box. 2-3 models are cut out already, etc
This is your first time modelling?
Buy a starting toolkit online or from a FLGS. I know Warstore sells a decent one.
Alternately, you can try to get buy on just an exacto knife for just removing bits from sprue.
I guess the Tau will be allowed multiple subsystems (relics) because Tau don't have psyker tables or anything. It's a system from another era.
go down to walmart, go to the hobby stuff and find a pair of flush cutters for like $5, youll never need another pair. Pick up an exacto knife while youre there for moldline scraping
Speaking of which I really hate how those trucks look, almost enough not to take them and I can't find any good proxies with for them. How easy is it to replace their tracks with wheels ? Are they a separate element you glue on or are they already part of something ?
I love how those flamers look, I have to admit.
Speaking of orders, when going CAD is it a good idea to take two command squads to get as many orders as I can ?
>orders
I'm fairly certain the normal sergeants can give orders and they're only one LD below the Tempestor Prime.
Tau are allowed multiple systems because their codex says they can take multiple systems
